Which licenses to distribute with the compiled secp256k1? COPYINGsays Pieter Wuille, some files say Andrew Poelstra, some files say the names of contributors.

Is there anything I can do other than reading all the files' copyright texts to find the whole list of contributors?

Maybe we should change COPYING to say "The Bitcoin Core developers" or "the libsecp256k1 developers" to match Core?

Please don't do that. This is a bad practice in Bitcoin Core.

Closing as I don't think sipa or I have any strong feelings, so I expect no further progress on this.
